[SOC] the internet

[Michael Coslo]

When I think of someone having a go at the old bearded dude's titty, well, it's pretty offensive. In the political world, is much ado about nothing. Both parties love those cash dispensing boobies.

Don't get me wrong - I love offensive jokes. Offense is the gift that keeps on giving.

1- you laugh at the joke.

2 - you laugh at the people who are offended.


Remember that jet crash a couple of weeks ago? Terrible and sad stuff, life played the ultimate cruel joke on that poor high school girl that survived the crash, then was run over by the rescue truck.

All that aside, I laughed until the tears came out listening to the news lady reading off the names of the pilots…….

Som Ting Wong,
Wi Too Lo,
Ho Lee Fuk,

and so on. That was insensitive and offensive.

But Dammit Alice, it was FUNNY! 

Then we were treated to the outrage, which was almost as funny as the fake Asian names.

Too many people have lost sight that a big part of humor is getting back at tragedies, and things we have no control over. Outrage should be reserved for evil actions, not humor.

Do I have to turn in my SOC card now? Too much analysis?
